The view from the train — a new high-speed double-decker that should shame Amtrak — shows a different, un-insulated Russia. Grey cinder-block apartments alternate with dilapidated cottages, corrugated tin roofs and outhouses. Images flash by. Thickets of white birch trees and broad frozen rivers, black branches like lead pencil sketches. A World War II tank, surrounded by a small fence in the middle of nowhere.

Rail crossings littered by husks of old trains with cracked windows, and huge pallets of cinder blocks and timber. Clusters of workmen warming themselves around fires of fat logs. Villages in snowy monochrome save for glints of magnificently colorful churches, robins-egg blue cathedrals topped by gold onion domes. Dark spikes of pines and parchment-tinted grasses jutting through hard-crusted snow, white fog that makes the sky indistinguishable from the ground, so there is no visible horizon.

“I decided to pursue my final goal and dream of becoming an Olympian,” she said. “The only way to do it was to make the switch, so I ended up coming over to the ice and trying to live the dream.”. In making the switch, Smith followed in the footsteps of some of her idols and mentors who also made the switch – Chad Hedrick, Jennifer Rodriguez and Derek Parra. She immediately noticed one big difference between the sports. “Inline is aerobic – you can get away with a lot just by keeping your feet moving and keeping your body moving,” she said. “But for ice, it’s anaerobic. You get that lactate feeling building up and it’s hard to push through it.”.
